    Buuuuut I still have to wait for my plate bumper... so that will sit on the shop bench for another couple of months. I'll get the wiring done for that & order some LF 240s and do the wiring / rockers for those too

    I didn't realize you made them for 1st gens since the top line only mentions 2nd gen Tacomas lol. Unless you scroll down to the drop box. Same with the light bar too lol. I have pictures of mine installed if you needed some to showcase.

    I said the same thing but when you scroll to the bottom and do the drop down box it has 1st gen as an option. Says nothing about making light bars for the first gens either. Just needs a little updating lol

    I judged it based off the high beams since the right one would be way up there otherwise. Plus the during the drive over we couldn't hardly see the road because it was pointed so high on the right.

    I've got a line on some OME881's with spacer and billie shocks, 2 years old for $175, should i bite, or wait?
    or i could get that, rear shackles and rear billies for $300.

    towed a YSR50, a Kawi440, a Chevy Tranny, and some Aston Martin Vantage S wheels... and set up an appointment to get my speaker and Catalytic Converter replaced. Kind of strange for 16k miles

    Yeah, from the factory they come angled but every time I've ever lifted a vehicle or changed lenses I level them out.

    The orange LEDs look different. Less burnt orange and more orange. A lot smoother light tone though. As for the dome light and map lights, everybody should get these!!! :eek:
